Lạc Sơn is a commune of Phú Thọ province in Vietnam.
On June 16, 2025, the Standing Committee of the National Assembly issued Resolution No. 1660/NQ-UBTVQH15 on the reorganization of commune-level administrative units in Phú Thọ Province in 2025 (the resolution took effect on the date of its adoption). Accordingly, the entire natural area and population of Vụ Bản Township, Hương Nhượng Commune, and Vũ Bình Commune were consolidated to establish a new commune named Lạc Sơn Commune.
History Vụ Bản Township was formed in the 1950s where based on the merger of Vụ Bản Market and Liên Vũ Commune. Its name is often considered by people from Vụ Bản Rural District to commemorate their roots, but perhaps this group is only the mainstream, not all.
Vụ Bản Market was established at the most fierce period of the land reform movement in the North Vietnam. Because of not bearing the brutal atmosphere in the locality, the people of the Red River Delta went to the mountains to flee, because more or less this area still enjoyed a more free life.Vụ Bản Township is a nucleus promoting the economic development process of the whole Lạc Sơn Rural District (in Vietnamese)
To meet the criteria of the plan for arrangement and merger of administrative units, according to the Decision of the Hòa Bình Provincial People's Committee, which was issued in April 2025, from 00:00 on September 1 of the same year, Vụ Bản Township was no longer the capital of Lạc Sơn Rural District but became a commune-level administrative unit of the province.
Culture Vụ Bản Township is home to the most vibrant football movement in Hòa Bình Province. Most Hòa Bình football players come from Vụ Bản Township's children's football teams.
